Combined economics degrees?

As I don't have maths at A level, but I really like economics, I was thinking of doing a combined degree. My subjects are Economics, Geography, German and Biology. Does anyone know what it combines well with? Or which unis offer good joint honours degrees?

*ahem*http://www.admissions.ox.ac.uk/courses/ppec.shtml

Loads of universities offer Econmics with... and Economics and... courses. Oxford is partially good for joint courses, as is LSE and many places.

at the moment im thinking of doing a combined economics and economics history or economics and geography...maybe even applying for a economics and german, so who knows

But PPE still like maths don't they? I'll check it out though, thanks.

Yeah, but every economics department in the country likes maths, even if they don't say so in the prospectus. If you do Economics, in any form you'll come upon maths sooner or later.

Yeah, don't get me wrong, I don't mind doing maths as part of economics, I'm just anxious that my lack of it at the moment is going to really work against me getting in to do it anywhere.

indeed even economics as a minor subject requires maths in some unis, which is abit strange imo, but theyre usually gcse requirements

I was under the impression that PPE without Maths, is more of a 'as long as you're amazing at Politics and Philosophy' type of thing?

For example, I was told by a PPEist that with the candidates with Maths + Sciences/Futher Maths, they look more to see how well you can write and the written work you sent in as they have evidence of your numeracy skills.

However, the candidates without Maths, they'll accept based more on how good they perform in the P&P interviews, as they already have evidence that they can write well?

Meh. Greatest degree ever.

How it's strange? To have any decent understanding of complex economics, you need maths. I find it strange that universities don't stress the important of maths more, it's a vital part of the course.

Economics combined with Economic History actually looks really interesting, and in some case I could use my German skills too. Haven't done History since year 9 though, hmm. Don't suppose I do any true essay subjects at A level either, though I was good at them at GCSE.

Let's all go to America and do a liberal arts degree. Mine would involve Economics, Politics, a bit of Sociology, History and Geography. Oh and some comparative Literature and German. You're sorted

yea looks interesting - you going to the lse open day?

I hadn't considered it before, but they don't ask for maths post GCSE, so I may well do now!

yea..the problem i have is, if i apply for economics history, all my other choices has to be economics history, otherwise i cant write a half decent ps..mm
